Jacques Derrida happened, and now no respectable person wants to be a philosopher anymore.
I kid... a little bit... but existentialism and continental philosophy really is absurd and ridiculous. No sane person should want to have anything to do with that crap.
For the last few centuries, the British had the best tradition in philosophy, but after WWII the socialist, nanny-state PC culture of the U.K. just killed everything in the realm of free thinking.
The best philosophers of today are probably around Stanford and Silicon Valley.
